Digest more
Meteorologists are closely tracking the projected path of Hurricane Erin, the first hurricane to develop over the Atlantic this year.
As Thursday winds down in Central Florida, a few evening thunderstorms are expected. In addition, the FOX 35 Storm Team is continuing to monitor the dangerous rip currents and surf coming from Hurricane Erin as it passes by the East Coast.
Hurricane Erin has triggered a state of emergency in North Carolina, where residents and visitors along the Outer Banks are under evacuation orders.
Erin is expected to produce life-threatening surf and rip currents along the beaches of the Bahamas, much of the east coast of the U.S. and Bermuda during the next several days. Rip current alerts extend along most of Florida's coastline with a high rip current risk for Palm Beach County and moderate risk for Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
Hurricane Erin strengthened on Wednesday as it headed north in the Atlantic. Here's the latest update, path, warnings and more for the Jersey Shore.
